Cops are people like you and me. The exceptions are state troopers and sheriffs, who are people like you and me but with impressive mustaches. People tend to look for jobs that they would enjoy. People who like cars are more likely to become mechanics. People who like to have authority are more likely to become cops. You get some bad apples just like you do in any sample of normal people, maybe a few more because of the nature of the job, but most are people trying to make an honest living and keep their communities safe. Management in every profession is riddled with corruption, but societal attitudes toward and expectations of police are skewed and heavily politicized.
